"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure with which you measure it will be measured back to you!" Luke 6:38
YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT OUT-GIVE GOD!!! HALLELUIA!!!
We have witnessed our Father pour out blessings upon blessings upon blessings on this ministry for over four years now and each time He seems to take us to yet a higher level!!!
Almost a month ago I sent out an announcement that we had been selected by "doTERRA Essential Oils" to participate in a $10,000.00 matching grant challenge through their Healing Hands Foundation ... all we had to do was raise $10,000.00 and they would match us dollar for dollar.
The bottom line is that over fifty different people donated a total of $11,491.00 to the Challenge. We received the full $10,000.00 match which will more than cover the costs associated with placing security fencing around the 8 acres of farmland which also is the site for the permanent housing for the children living in the tents! We can never thank you enough for your prayers and contributions that have made this life-changing opportunity possible. They will begin the construction on the fencing within the next few days and we will be sharing many photos as the process moves forward!
BUT, that is only part of the story because shortly after finding out that we had met the challenge Mary Faye received a phone call from someone with some more truly unbelievable news. As she listened, the person told her that God had spoken to her and her husband as they prayed together and layed it on their hearts to match doTERRA's gift. Because of their obedience another $10,000.00 has been added to the total bringing the receipts from the Challenge to $31,491.00!
As a result, we are now in the position to begin planning the opening of Phase One of Ebenezer Christian School which will also be located on the farmland. We have been given a quote of $55,000 to complete Phase One of the school which will consist of the completion of 3 classrooms and the foundation and roof structure for several additional classrooms. As a result of receiving the additional $10,000.00 gift, the funding necessary to complete the three classrooms is now only $45,000.00.
Please pray with us for God to bring forth individuals, churches, schools, corporate sponsors, and others to partner with us in raising these funds. It is our desire to have the funding in place by December 1 so that we can hopefully have construction completed by the beginning of the next school term which begins in early February.
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!!!
